J.T. Miller admitted just that as he returned to the lineup to find Mike Sullivan has managed to weather the storm and change the tune for the Broadway Blueshirts.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"paragraph\" class=\"mb-[20px] md:mb-[30px] break-word\">\u201cThis is a good feeling around here right now,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/bolavip.com\/en\/topic\/jt-miller\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"break-word font-articleLinkText text-articleLinkText hover:text-articleLinkTextHover hover:bg-articleLinkTextHoverBg cursor-pointer border-solid border-b-articleLinkTextHover\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Miller<\/a> said, via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"break-word font-articleLinkText text-articleLinkText hover:text-articleLinkTextHover hover:bg-articleLinkTextHoverBg cursor-pointer border-solid border-b-articleLinkTextHover\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">NHL.com<\/a> and NY Hockey Insider. \u201cNow we\u2019re on the right side of things, but we don\u2019t want to get comfortable with that. We want to keep going and string as many together as we can here. There\u2019s a lot to like right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"paragraph\" class=\"mb-[20px] md:mb-[30px] break-word\">Miller was still on Injured Reserve (IR) when New York began its sudden rise in the NHL. In his first game back, Miller could see firsthand everything that had been clicking for the Rangers. <a href=\"https:\/\/bolavip.com\/en\/topic\/mike-sullivan\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"break-word font-articleLinkText text-articleLinkText hover:text-articleLinkTextHover hover:bg-articleLinkTextHoverBg cursor-pointer border-solid border-b-articleLinkTextHover\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Sullivan<\/a> and the Blueshirts are playing with heart once again, and the captain is now active to help on the ice, as well.<\/p>\n<p>Miller\u2019s return to the NY Rangers\u2019 lineup<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"paragraph\" class=\"mb-[20px] md:mb-[30px] break-word\">Some fans expressed concerns about the captain, with many believing the Blueshirts were better off without him. However, as he returned to the lineup\u2014his first game since March 2\u2014the Rangers continued to ride their wave of momentum, securing their fourth straight victory.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/mike-sullivan-1-1-1920x1080.webp.webp\" alt=\"Mike Sullivan returns to NY Rangers after Olympics\" class=\"wp-image-586584\"\/>Mike Sullivan at Milano Santagiulia Ice Hockey Arena in Milan, Italy.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"paragraph\" class=\"mb-[20px] md:mb-[30px] break-word\">Despite his ice-time of 19:15 minutes\u2014the third most time out of every forward on the team\u2014Miller had quite an uneventful night during the Rangers\u2019 visit to the Minnesota Wild. The captain only recorded one shot on goal, putting up no points. New York did just fine, though. <\/p>\n<p><a title=\"NY Rangers reportedly had Vincent Trocheck trade talks with several Stanley Cup contenders\" href=\"https:\/\/bolavip.com\/en\/nhl\/ny-rangers-reportedly-had-vincent-trocheck-trade-talks-with-several-stanley-cup-contenders\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"article-also-read-embed\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aspect-square max-w-[100px] m-[10px] md:m-0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1773627870_794_vincenttrocheck-2-200x200.webp.webp\" alt=\"NY Rangers reportedly had Vincent Trocheck trade talks with several Stanley Cup contenders\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary my-[13px] uppercase text-alsoReadSeeAlso bg-alsoReadSeeAlsoBackground alsoReadSeeAlso w-fit\">see also<\/p>\n<p class=\"w-full line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2 text-alsoReadEmbedTitle font-primary alsoReadLink\">NY Rangers reportedly had Vincent Trocheck trade talks with several Stanley Cup contenders<\/p>\n<p><\/a>NY Rangers are on the rise<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"paragraph\" class=\"mb-[20px] md:mb-[30px] break-word\">Securing the 4\u20132 win means the Blueshirts are one victory away from stringing together five straight wins. Such a feat hasn\u2019t been accomplished by New York since the 2023\u201324 NHL season. <\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"paragraph\" class=\"mb-[20px] md:mb-[30px] break-word\">Needless to say, the winds of change are blowing through the Big Apple, where Sullivan has seemingly found his footing and the Blueshirts are trending upward. This season is well out of reach, but the building blocks are being put in place for the Rangers moving forward.<\/p>\n<p class=\"w-full mb-[5px] md:mb-[11px] text-articlePollEmbedTitleMobile md:text-articlePollEmbedTitle font-secondary\">SurveyWho will finish last in the East?<\/p>\n<p class=\"block md:hidden font-bold mb-[9px] text-articlePollText text-articlePollEmbedTitleMobile md:text-articlePollEmbedTitle font-secondary tracking-normal\">Who will finish last in the East?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Riding a season-high four-game win streak in the 2025-26 NHL campaign, the New York Rangers look like a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":505527,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5111],"tags":[5,6640,1955,3328,35,5190,5193,4,36],"class_list":["post-505526","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-rangers","tag-hockey","tag-jt-miller","tag-mike-sullivan","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-rangers","tag-newyork","tag-newyorkrangers","tag-nhl","tag-rangers"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116236483223599976","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/505526","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=505526"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/505526\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/505527"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=505526"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=505526"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=505526"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
